The David and Catherine Driver Farm is a historic farmstead in rural Rockingham County, Virginia, near Timberville. The main house, a 2.5 story wood frame structure, was built c. 1845 and has Greek Revival styling. It was extended in the 1880s, giving it a T-shape and adding Victorian details such as bull's eye window in the front gable. The farm's most notable building is a c. 1839 barn, a rare survivor of the American Civil War campaign of Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman through the area, in which most barns were destroyed.[2]
The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
